Posts with tag short hair

Remember how Victoria Beckham chopped her hair and got everybody talking? Well maybe she was just using her new cut to distract us from the fact that she's a big fat hypocrite! Because, the ring she was wearing on her hand the night of the 'do debut costs $7 million dollars -- all this after she says she "doesn't spend much on clothes."

Now that June is upon us, one of the best ways to fight the heat is with a shorter 'do. On the right type of face, we LOVE the Pixie cut. It is easy to maintain and looks sleek and sophisticated and can be a godsend in those summer months for people with extremely dark hair.

But if a pixie is too short, or if you don't have the type of face that supports short hair -- high cheekbones are a must -- the Pixie can be downright disastrous. Still, as more and more celebs start rocking the short hair (think Rhianna), to sheer or not to sheer becomes a big summer hair question.

So our friends at Stylelist want to know, would you get a pixie cut? Sound off by answering this week's poll and let us know in the comments what you think.

Posh Spice, aka Victoria Beckham, came to the U.S. and started the short hair trend. Since then, anyone who's anyone has been seen with the bob, most notably Katie Holmes. But, aside from the big names, I think it's only fair that we talk about some of the lower profile ladies who have also chopped it all off in the name of fashion. Our most recent victim is Norah Jones.

When Katie Holmes chopped her hair off last summer, we were fairly shocked, but she totally pulled it off. Then came this cut, which we loved even more. It was so daring and fashion forward and sophisticated, and it really flattered her face. But, she couldn't leave it at that.

This, in case you haven't been keeping up with British models (and who can?), is Agyness Deyn.

Agyness Deyn is pronounced like "Agnes Dean". It just has a bunch of extra letters, like "crocheted" and all words in French.

There's something unusual about this adorable lady: she has short hair! Most models have heaping, malleable hair that can be morphed into a shape complimentary to what they are wearing. Think of the Project Runway models. They are new to the business and so, for the most part, they have long hair. They are playing by the rules.

Agyness? Not so much. This brave 25 year old is sporting short hair and it totally works for her! I'd go so far as to say she looks iconic, in an irreverent way. She doesn't remind me of Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday or Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby. She sort of reminds me of Andy Warhol.

Here are some other famous girls with boy hair:

These actresses are brave. My actress friend Emily swears that ever since she cut her hair, she only gets cast as lesbians.

Really? Does short hair make you a lesbian?
